Summary: has been recorded on various deciduous and coniferous/evergreen trees and bushes. Lienhard (1998) noted that the species prefers humid conditions (such as riverine woodlands) and the environment may be more important than the specific tree species.

Associations:

  • Deciduous branches: apple, ash, oak, sallow and sycamore.
  • Deciduous trunks: beech.
  • Conifer/evergreen branches: ivy and sitka spruce.

Sampling techniques: beating branches and brushing tree trunks.
